“Wealth is not what you have…
wealth is what you share.”

∎

There have always been that rare group of profoundly wealthy souls that aspire to live by such wisdom. They prefer to share their wealth, than to merely “show” it. They understand that the human connection that results from their philosophy makes them rich, beyond compare. Perhaps more than any other home in Marin County, 220 Deer Park was built for those that espouse this wisdom.

From the comfortable laid-back style; to the irresistible aesthetics and architectural detail of classic 19th century country estates; to the seamless flow between the interior and exterior vignettes; to the high quality contemporary construction (built in 2004), with exceptional fit and finish utilizing quality appliances and hardware… this two acre knoll top property enjoys the best of one of Marin’s oldest, yet most undervalued luxury estate enclaves; which dates back to the 19th century.

Perhaps best of all is the outdoor sanctuary, that must be seen to be fully appreciated. The young and young at heart will delight in every aspect of this oasis. From the spectacular Mt. Tam views, to the glistening pool with custom “mountain” water slide, to the cabana and outdoor kitchen, to the lush landscaping and expansive “turf” play area, and so much more… This outdoor paradise has been the source of endless joy and satisfaction for the estate’s current owners, as it surely will be for those that appreciate the true wealth that such an oasis brings.

Value
